hopefully more people will play in rooms now. they are pretty fun. looking forward to this

No mention about them fixing the region issue? Being in Canada, I'm forced to only search for matches in "Worldwide" region. And 80% of the time I'm paired with someone from Asia or Europe with a laggy connection.

Can't they divide the regions in continents like Tekken 6 does? The game isn't as popular here as the Capcom titles so you can't get away with restricting yourself to Canada just get a good connection. So Please Sega change "Same Region" to "Same Continent".

I hope they listen to this. Glad they're fixing the room issues though, that's a relief.

EDIT: Also, PLEASE format the room lobbies such that players can enter the room in the middle of the match instead of only in between matches. No other game suffers from this retarded design so there's no reason for VF to have it either.

Now we can finally play in room matches

SEGA has no idea what's going on the market outside of JP and USA.

Cant wait for this patch..

I'm from Canada and I don't have this problem. I never search worldwide and always find matches.
It could be a PSN thing.

I find the patch somewhat ... underwhelming? Is it an appropriate word?

Again, this is the way to go. Good job devs

Dude.. It's like that so it will run the best it can run during matches online. If people was to enter the room as a match is going on, you will have big time lag spikes during matches. (Soul Caliber 5 is a good example). By doing it like this, you do not have nearly as much lag. lag is minimized when you CANNNOT enter during a fight? It makes it better for everybody. Keep it the way it is when it comes to that. But what they should do is, for players that want to enter the room to be put on like a waiting list, so that you can join the room, without actually joining the game in progress.

eh decent patch but was hoping for a fix for the "players met" list not functioning at all on PSN and mandatory compatibility patch for the customization dlc so people who didn't buy them can still see other players custom characters

Rooms are going to be much more enjoyable now. No player's met function is pretty backwards though, that should have been fixed too.

That's a great patch !

Still , I wish people will ask sega to include score/ beat by notation on player match or/and room mode, and togle show result option in replay mode.

Just that one fix is huge, imo.

It is a PSN thing, on XBL this problem doesnt exist. Also the "same area" filter is smarter on XBL. I live in Finland and "same area" on XBL means the entire Europe.

Ok, rooms might become a bit more popular now. I'll take that.

Though I do wish they'd added a few more bits and pieces to the game. I'd like to see a "history" stat that shows every time you play someone. Like "matches played against" and a win/loss record for that particular opponent.

Also, the leaderboards need a bit of scrubbing. Get rid of some of the cheaters...but oh well. For what it's worth, good job Sega.

The main fix they need is ability to see Frame-by-frame REPLAYS - now no any slow motion or pause in Spectator replay mode!
Its terrible, it was in VF4Evo and is VERY IMPORTANT to analyzing your gameplay.

Err, they're really allowing us to skip the timer in the rooms? Guess that'll make saving replays ten times harder, GGs guys.

No time for anyone to join too :facepalm emoticon:

i actually liked the VF5 commentators. Oh well.

Any word if they will fix the button config to be press-to-config?
